Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 57 Beauty
Lu Yunshu said, "After all, the maids on the farm are also servants of the Lu family. They should be severely punished for being disrespectful to their masters. I envy my sister-in-law's skills."

If you are a master, you should act like a master.

Su Qingwan was indifferent to the commotion downstairs. After Luzhu punished the old woman, she took a nap under the corridor with a thin blanket on. The maid Qingqing advised her to go upstairs to rest, and they would be careful on night duty.

"Cheer up and keep watch. Don't worry about me."

In the second half of the night, it was calm. After Lu Zhu killed the chicken to scare the monkey, no one in the village dared to provoke them. In the early morning, the village began to become lively with the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs.

This is the busy farming season. The wheat in the fields has matured. The old women have to lead the tenant farmers to harvest and sow longan fruits. They are very busy.

Mrs. Zhuang deliberately shouted outside the attic, asking Su Qingwan and the maids to go to work. They said they would not serve so many people who were brought to the farm to eat free meals.

Luzhu went out in a rage, and Mrs. Zhuang was startled. The old woman who was beaten black and blue by her last night was also there. They were whispering to each other and no one knew what they were talking about. They were all a little scared when they saw Luzhu.

Green Bamboo said, "My daughter doesn't need you to support her, and I will cut you if you dare to make a fuss again!"

Mrs. Zhuang said, "The eldest young lady came to the farm to be punished. It is not decent for her to sleep until noon. She should go to the fields with us to work."

"Oh... I won't go!" Lu Zhu twisted her waist, looking mean, "My daughter was born to enjoy life."

Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to say something else, but the green bamboo dagger flashed and several old women retreated in unison, shouting at her, "Shrew!" and dared not shout in front of the attic anymore.

After the women went to work.

Luzhu also went to catch up on her sleep.

Su Qingwan didn't sleep well at night and slept until the afternoon. It was a rare opportunity for her to have a long lazy sleep.

When I woke up, the attic was very quiet. Lu Yunshu and Xuedan were catching butterflies and picking wild fruits nearby. Su Qingwan had a simple lunch and felt very lazy.

Luzhu was still catching up on her sleep, so Qingqing told her what happened in the morning. Su Qingwan chuckled. It would take a hot temper to control this group of old women. She didn't even need to show up, as Luzhu could control them all by herself.

Although Qingqing was a maid she had just bought, she was very loyal. Luzhu trained her every day and taught her martial arts. Su Qingwan was also very satisfied with her. When Luzhu was not around, Qingqing served her personally.

After lunch, she took Qingqing to look for Lu Yunshu. The wheat was ripe, and everywhere was golden. The breeze made it look like a golden sea of ​​clouds.

Lu Yunshu, Xuedan and others were picking wild fruits. They picked a basket of small red wild fruits. Xuedan was climbing on the branches while Lu Yunshu was hitting the fruits with a bamboo pole.

Su Qingwan couldn't help laughing.

Lu Yunshu is a typical lady from a wealthy family. Her every word and action is gentle and appropriate. She knows when to advance and when to retreat, and she doesn't talk much during family dinners. But now that she is in the countryside, she has become much more lively and smiles more often.

"Sister-in-law, come and have a taste. This fruit is delicious." Lu Yunshu put down the bamboo pole, picked a big red fruit from the basket, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief and handed it to Su Qingwan.

Su Qingwan couldn't name this wild fruit. It grew in patches in the countryside. It didn't need special fertilizer and could grow into an orchard with some care.

She had never seen this kind of wild fruit in the southwest. The skin was delicate and bright red, and the fruit was slightly smaller than a plum. Su Qingwan took a bite and found it sour and sweet, unexpectedly delicious.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's okay!" Su Qingwan asked with a smile, "What is this called?" "I don't know." Lu Yunshu shook her head.

Xuedan said, "Madam, some people call this fresh fruit sand fruit, some call it red fruit, there are all kinds of names."

"It's sweet and sour, appetizing, and can help relieve greasiness. It's perfect as a snack." Su Qingwan is not a greedy person, but she couldn't help but eat five or six of them. Some were sweet, and some were sour, but she was generally satisfied.

The fruit trees are very tall, there are more than a dozen of them in total, with fruits hanging on the branches, but no one is picking them. Under the trees are ripe fruits. Not far away is a farmland where several tenant farmers are planting longevity fruits.

Su Qingwan sent someone to ask who the fruit tree belonged to.

Qingqing was diligent and ran over to ask about the situation. She said it belonged to the Lu family, and it grew so well every year. The people on the farm were tired of eating it and didn't think it was fresh anymore. It grew naturally and no one took care of it usually.

"Second sister, do you want to make some private money?"

Lu Yunshu's eyes sparkled, "How do you make money?"

"We pick these fruits and take them to town to sell for money."

"But...is it possible?" Lu Yunshu's cheeks turned red with excitement.

"This is the fruit tree of the Lu family. The eldest son of the tree has fallen a lot of fruit. We might as well exchange it for money. The fruit tastes pretty good."

"Okay, okay!" Lu Yunshu felt it was new and she had never done such things before. She ordered people to pick the fruits. She didn't dare to pick too many for the first time, for fear that they would rot if they couldn't be sold.

Su Qingwan said, "Pick the ripe ones and send them back to the mansion if you can't sell them all. I just heard that this wild fruit doesn't grow all over the mountains, but only on the east side of the farm. There is no other land, and even if there is, it can't form an orchard. It's hot in summer and your appetite is poor. This wild fruit is sweet and sour and can stimulate your appetite. Your elder sister is pregnant, so let her taste it later."

Luzhu also woke up and helped to pick the fruits. Soon he picked three baskets. Su Qingwan ordered people to prepare two horse-drawn carriages and take the wild fruits to the town to sell.

Mrs. Zhuang was harvesting wheat in the field. The sun was shining brightly and she was sweating all over. When she heard that they were picking wild fruits to sell, she laughed at them for being ignorant. She said that such sour fruits would not be accepted even if given away for free, so how could anyone spend money to buy them?

They arrived at the town in half an hour. The towns near Kyoto were very lively and the people were wealthy. They quickly found a piece of land to sell. Lu Yunshu was a little shy and hid in the carriage at first and refused to get off. Su Qingwan encouraged her to get off and experience the fun of doing business.

She got out of the car hesitantly, not daring to speak, her face flushed. Su Qingwan stood by the railing, and found it very interesting to see the beautiful woman blushing, and couldn't help laughing.

Green Bamboo was the most generous. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Eat sand apples, eat sand apples. If they are not sweet, I won't pay for them."

However, a few women found it interesting and came to buy some to try. They frowned because of the sourness and scolded Green Bamboo for deceiving them, saying that wild fruits were too sour.

Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Lvzhu, let the customers try before buying, and tell them about the benefits of wild fruits. Those who have a poor appetite in summer, those who like sour food, and those who like meat at home can also relieve their greasiness."

She paused, smiled and said, "The most important thing is that the girls stand in a row and speak in a gentle voice."

Lu Yunshu has a beautiful appearance. The Lu Shaoqing brothers were famous for their good looks when they were young, so all the children in the Lu family are very beautiful. Luzhu, Qingqing and Xuedan are all fresh and pretty girls.

Their voices were soft and gentle, and they were standing in a row selling wild fruits. It was a rare sight in such a small town. Their beauty alone attracted a group of people. Men loved beauty, and women also loved beauty.
